Abstract: A cache memory serves for accelerating accesses to an external memory of a microprocessor. Instead of an actually occurring hit event, a cache miss is signaled to the microprocessor. The reversal is randomly controlled. This disguises the current profile of cache hit and miss events, which enhances the security against statistical attack techniques based on the evaluation of the current profile.

Abstract: Electronically addressable microchips having covalently bound permeation layers and methods of making such covalently bonded permeation layers to microchips are provided. The covalent bonding is derived from combining the use of electrodes with silane derivatives. Such chemistry provides the ability to apply an electronic bias to the electrodes of the microchip while preventing permeation layer delaminating from the electrode surface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus estimate an offset between a carrier frequency of a transmitter and a local reference frequency of a receiver. A received signal is separated into frequency synchronization signals and data, and a determination is made whether the frequency synchronization signals are adequate for estimating the frequency offset. This determination may be made based on, e.g., an estimated Doppler spread, an estimated signal to noise ratio, and/or an available amount of frequency offset estimation time. The frequency offset is estimated based on the determination results. If the frequency synchronization signals are adequate for estimating the frequency offset, the frequency synchronization signals are used for determining the frequency offset. Otherwise, the rate of the frequency synchronization signals is increased, e.g., by using the data as frequency synchronization signals, in which case the data is combined with the frequency synchronization signals to determine the frequency offset.
